[QUOTE="ctd12vfan, post: 1055042, member: 88820"] Ohiohunter: Hey, as I was reading your post I had a similar thought as Senderofan. I'm attaching a link to a scope that I will eventually own but I think may work well for you. I have no first hand experience with these scopes but I think they look promising.
